One thing to note, it has been my experience that many people do hip exercises incorrectly. It is one of the joints (and related muscles) that frequently ‘ask for help’ when the load is too high or if the individual has not been properly informed of technique. The body will recruite muscles and movement from other joints to perform the requested movement from the brain with disregard to technique (trust me, I have witnessed people doing exercises incorrectly for year). Hence, consult a physical therapist or fitness professional to help educate you on the proper way to perform exercises.

I had trouble with my IT band over the summer before the marathon (first one) and after working on the hips and strengthening the side muscles, things went back to normal. Now, getting ready to train for the next race, I’m always working on the hips at the gym.
